The 2nd generation Intel Galileo board provides a single board controller for

the maker community, students, and professional developers. Based on the

Intel Quark SoC X1000, a 32-bit Intel Pentium processor-class system on
a chip (SoC), the genuine Intel processor and native I/O capabilities of the
Intel Galileo board (Gen 2) provide a full-featured oering for a wide range of
applications. Arduino-Certifed and designed to be hardware-, software-, and
pin-compatible with a wide range of Arduino Uno R3 shields, the Intel Galileo
Gen 2 board also provides a simpler and more cost-eective development
environment compared to the Intel Atom processor- and Intel Core
processor-based designs.

2nd Generation Product
Enhancements
The Intel Galileo board (Gen 2) delivers
improved features and functionality in
the following areas:
12 GPIOs fully native for greater speed
and improved drive strength.
12-bit PWM for more precise control
of servos and smoother response.
12 V Power-over-Ethernet capable.
Power supplies from 7 V to 15 V
are supported.
Serial console UART header is com-
patible with FTDI USB converters.
Console UART1 can be redirected to
Arduino* headers in sketches, which
can eliminate the need for soft-serial.
Arduino Uno R3*-compatible
Getting familiar with the board and de-
veloping applications is a snap because
the Intel Galileo board (Gen 2) matches
the Arduino 1.0 pinout and is also
software-compatible with the Arduino
Software Development Environment.
Open Source Hardware
The Intel Galileo board (Gen 2) is an
open source hardware design. Sche-
matics, Cadence Allegro board fles,
and bill of materials (BOM) are freely
available for download.
Extensive Expandability
In addition to Arduino hardware and
software compatibility, the Intel
Galileo board (Gen 2) includes the
following industry-standard I/O
ports and features:
Full-sized mini-PCI Express* slot
10/100 Mbps Ethernet* RJ45 port
with PoE support
Micro-SD slot
TTL UART 6-pin header
USB 2.0 Host port
USB 2.0 Client port
Target Software
Use the Arduino Software Develop-
ment Environment to create programs
for Galileo called sketches. To run a
sketch on the board:
1. Connect power.
2. Connect the boards USB Client port
to a computer.
3. Upload the sketch using the IDE
interface.
The sketch runs on the Galileo board
and communicates with the Linux*
kernel in the board frmware using the
Arduino I/O adapter. For complete de-
tails on programming your board, see
the Intel Galileo Getting Started Guide.
